commence weirdness!

   My family prides themselves for being abnormal. For instance, my dad sometimes walks around the house shuffling and almost-drooling when he gets into one of his “weird moods”. My mom has started watching Tosh.0 and finds it amusing to “Gaddafi” herself. If you don’t watch Tosh, you probably won’t get that visual the way I hoped you would. Let’s just say it’s not something I would wish upon you. My sister treats our cat as if it came from her womb. I used to get worried when I heard one-sided conversations emanating from her room, but now it’s pretty normal. I attribute our cat’s obesity to her as well. I guess that’s what you do for someone when you love them: make them fat.

   Getting to the point here, over Thanksgiving break we proved this fact. As we were sitting in the living room watching some over-rated comedy or another, the power went out. We all sat there in the darkness for a good two minutes before my sister, very meekly, began singing:

   My mom, of course, immediately joined in and began singing along with her. I chimed in after getting over the initial amusement. My dad contributed where he could. 

   It was pretty amusing because none of us could remember the order of things after “five golden rings” and so just kept repeating “turtledoves” for everything. By the time we got completely through the entire song as best as we could, the power came back on.

   We resumed watching our movie as if nothing had happened.
